Bulbs first obviously, also check the headlamp connectors with a circuit tester. The plugs can melt if someone has put higher rated bulbs in there.

After that rule out any fuses or relays.

Had to replace LH one on mine a couple of years ago and only yesterday the RH one, it started playing up when switching on dips the bulb would glow VERY weakly and the spots would come on as well. Replaced connector and all is well once again😊
